CTAN has a new package: installfont

On Fri, 1 Jan 2010 Josef Kleber submitted the

  installfont

package to CTAN.

Location on CTAN: /support/installfont
Summary description: A bash script for installing a Postscript Type1 font family
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With this script you can install a Postscript Type1 font family (at least the four
basic cuts + small caps + faked slanted (pdflatex), but no expert fonts) for using
it with LaTeX (MiKTeX). The script expects the *.pfb and *.afm files named in the
Karl Berry scheme (e.g. 5bbr8a.pfb). Just adapt the script variables to your fonts
and directories. After running it, you should have a working font installation 
in your local TeX tree.

This package is located at 
   http://mirror.ctan.org/support/installfont
.  More information is at
   http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=installfont

CTAN update: eqparbox

This should soon be at your local mirror.

Jim Hef{}feron
Saint Michael's College

.....................................................................

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor:

Name of contribution: eqparbox
Version number: 3.1
Author's name: Scott Pakin
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/eqparbox
Summary description: Put text in boxes that are as wide as the widest text
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
LaTeX users sometimes need to ensure that two or more blocks of text
occupy the same horizontal space on the page.  To that end, the eqparbox
package defines \eqparbox, \eqmakebox, \eqframebox, and \eqsavebox
commands, which work just like \parbox, \makebox, \framebox, and
\savebox, respectively, except that instead of specifying a width, one
specifies a tag.  All boxes with the same tag -- regardless of where
they are in the document -- will stretch to fit the widest box that uses
that tag.  This simple, equal-width mechanism can be used for a variety
of alignment purposes, as is evidenced by the examples in eqparbox's
documentation.

Version 3.1 includes Rob Verhoeven's \eqmakebox contribution and
